Wealth Preservation Through Precious Metals

There are only five precious metals

• Gold
• Silver
• Platinum
• Palladium
• Rhodium

These metals are considered precious because they are only found in small quantities and are unsustainable.

Physical possession of precious metals is the most classical way to preserve wealth.  Gold and silver have been money for a long time, and have industrial applications for which there is no substitute.  Platinum and palladium, although not monetary, are unsustainable too.

Gold is an specially high value substance.  It never goes out of use, is internationally recognized, does not deteriorate, is easy to transport and is fungible.  There is proof that Egypt’s oldest gold mines predate the pharaohs by at least 20o years.  The use of gold for monetary purpose and wealth preservation has been going on for a long time.  Gold is excellent for storing great value is a small package.  A little bit of gold goes a long way.  A one ounce troy gold bar or coin takes a lot less space than a $1000 in $100 bills.

Silver has been the peoples money for the longest time.  Because silver is so much more plentiful than gold, it has been the monetary metal of choice for most small transactions.  For every day use, for last few thousand years, in all developed societies, silver was the metal of choice for buying and selling everything related to daily necessities.  Old silver coins came in all sizes.  Some where smaller that a US penny.   In the US, silver coinage lasted all the way to 1964.  There is still some in circulation today, over 50 years after the last US fractional silver coins were minted.

Paper money is inherently unstable.  That is because it is created at will by the banking system, or whoever will has the means and will benefit from it.  In fact, all fiat currencies (money created by law decree), otherwise known as “paper money” have always failed.   The US Dollar is arguably the currently most stable and longest fiat currency.   Fiat currencies were invented in China prior to Christ.  That ceased to circulate a long time ago.

Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium are called the “PMG”s.  “PMG” stands for “platinum metals group”.  These metals, although used as bullion and jewelry, are primarily used in industry.  One example of this are the high temperature sensors used in jet engines and other high temperature machinery.  PMGs, specially platinum, are the highest corrosion resistant substances.   For plenty of applications, there is no substitute.

How to Start Investing in Precious Metal

The best way to get started with precious metals is start doing it.  It is not too hard.  That is what is good about it.  You don’t have to start with a thousands of dollars.  It actually takes very little to start.  After that, you can increment your precious metal investing as per your convenience.

A good way to start is to buy a small amount.  For about what it takes to buy an OK meal in an OK restaurant, you get a one ounce silver bar.  Just keep the silver bar.  Nothing will happen.  Its value may go up or down in the near future.  However, if you keep it long enough, unless you paid too much for the silver, it will for sure be worth a lot more than the fiat currency face value you paid for it.  That is because of inflation.  Just don’t buy any amount that you may need to get back soon.

How much is the right amount of precious metal to start with depends on the individual.  I personally buy an amount I don’t need right away.  That is my reward.   In a great earning month I may get a couple of ounces of gold.  In a bad month at least a little bit of silver.  Think like that.

I sell plenty of bullion.  Get into my bullion email list.  You will get my offering almost every day.

Everybody Should Own Gold and Silver

Very Few Do:  This is Why

The main reason most people don’t invest in gold and silver is because they don’t understand it.  Its hard to be comfortable with something you don’t understand. Lack of understanding creates lack of confidence.  Lack of confidence creates fear.  Fear creates inaction.  Therefore, even when knowing it is a good thing, and being able to afford it,  most individuals don’t invest in gold and silver.  Most people only understand currency cash and checkbook money.  That is what they are confident with.  That is why they don’t invest in gold and silver .  I know this very well.  I was just like that.  The first time I bought a gold coin I felt fear at the time of paying.  Was I doing the right thing?… all that.  Then it was like I didn’t know if I had taken the right or the wrong train.  It is no longer like that.  I taught my self how to buy gold and silver with confidence.  You don’t need to re-invent the wheel.  I will teach you.

Does Gold Go Up in Value?

Of Course it Does!   But there is more to it…

Does Gold Go Up in Value?  I get that question all the time.  You know the answer:  Of Course it Does!  But, there is a lot more to it.  The proper way to view the constant rise in the value of gold is by comparing it to inflation.  Inflation is the loss of acquisition power of currency through time.  Basically, as time passes, it takes more money to buy the same things.

Without getting to much into the subject of central banking, the Federal Reserve keeps creating currency.  This leads to inflation.  So in reality, it is not that gold keeps going up in value.  It is that the US Dollar keeps losing more and more acquisition power.  In other words, the US Dollar becomes less and less valuable.  It takes more and more US Dollars to buy the same.  The inflation phenomenon does not apply to gold.  If you have a gold coin, and wait just enough, you will notice that it seems you got the gold coin for cheap.  And in a way you did.  However, what really happened, is that US Dollars you used for buying that gold coin at that time, can buy a lot less now.  In other words, the amount of dollars it takes to buy that same gold coin at this instance, is much more than before.  The coin has not changed, what changed is the acquisition power of the US Dollar.  Now, if you were to sell that same gold coin for close to its spot market value, unless there is a certain market anomaly, you can buy about the same amount of human labor or food commodities as before.   The reality is this:  Gold is a storage of value.  It is unaffected by inflation.  It retains its value through time.

 

Great Gold Value Retention Example:
Here is a great example.  See  video below.   In October 13th, 1977, Mr. A. Schmidt bought (20)  One ounce Troy Krugerrands gold coins.   At that instance, the Ounce Troy of gold was at $158.45.  With the premium, Mr. Schmidt paid $169 per gold coin.   His investment in gold was $3380 total.  In March 2012 I paid him $1630 for each gold coin, a total of $32,600.   Initially, without a close look, it seems that Mr. Smith paid very little for the gold.  It also seems that basically gold went up in value ten times since from 1977 to 2012.  However, with a little deeper analysis, without even getting scientific, if you really compare the value of other items, in addition to gold, you will notice that just about everything was ten times cheaper then.  In fact, the same exact house, and the same exact gold coin look like they were ten times cheaper.  In 1977 typical attorney hourly fees were $25 per hour.  In March 2012, typical attorney fees are $250 per hour.  It is very similar with a can of Coca Cola.  In March 2012 the retail value can of Coca Cola is around $1.  In 1977 it was around $0.1.  Did the house and the gold coin change?  Did the can of Coca Cola or the attorney services change? No.  What really happened is that the US Dollar lost value.  As I write this, the US Dollar in 1977 had ten times more acquisition power than it has today.  That is what really happens!  Gold keeps is value.  Currency doesn’t.

So Why Invest in Gold?

Because gold is a proven storage of value.  Time averages out all rallies and instances of speculation.  With 4000 years proven track record, there is little chance gold will cease to be the most reliable storage of value.  Gold worked for the Babylonian kings, the Egyptian Pharaohs, the Chinese Emperors, the European monarchies and today Banks and Central Banks.   Gold works for everybody.  This includes regular individuals such as you and me.
